As an ISV, you can leverage Amazon Q index to access and integrate your customers'
enterprise data into your applications. This integration enables you to enhance your
applications with generative AI capabilities powered by your customers' data, without
having to directly connect to or index individual data sources. Your customers
simply need to add you as a data accessor and provide you with the configuration details,
allowing you to retrieve relevant content through the SearchRelevantContent
API operation.
Alternatively, you can create a Amazon Q application environment on behalf of the
customer and add their data sources yourself. The Amazon Q index will then be able to
retrieve the relevant content through the SearchRelevantContent API operation.
For more information, see Creating an Amazon Q index on behalf of a customer.

Key concepts
- Amazon Q index
-
A comprehensive collection of a company's data that can be queried to build enhanced application experiences. It serves as the foundation for retrieving relevant content across various enterprise data sources.
Organizations that are Amazon Q Business customers and would like to connect their data sources with a supported ISV can add the ISV as a data accessor. For more information, see Data accessors.
SearchRelevantContentAPI operation-
This API operation enables ISVs to access the Amazon Q index. It supports keyword, semantic, and hybrid queries—allowing for flexible data retrieval options.
- AWS Identity and Access Management IAM Identity CenterManaged Application
-
Amazon Q Business manages end user access to a customer's Amazon Q index using IAWS Identity and Access Management IAM Identity Center.
- Resource-based policy
-
A resource-based policy is an IAM policy that's attached to a resource. Amazon Q Business attaches a resource-based policy to an Amazon Q Business application environment during the data accessor setup. This policy grants the ISV's AWS account the necessary permissions to access content for the customer's end users from the customer's data sources through the
SearchRelevantContentAPI operation. By attaching a resource-based policy to the data accessor's AWS account, it allows access to the Amazon Q index of the application environment. For more information, see Data accessors.
